Water scarcity is a growing global challenge, requiring effective management strategies to ensure sustainable water use, particularly in regions like West Dorset, U.K., where rising prices and environmental pressures make consumption practices essential. This study develops empirically tests an integrated theoretical framework combining Prospect Theory (PT) Social Cognitive (SCT) examine the mechanisms driving household conservation. Using structural equation modelling on data from 429 residents Dorset (response rate 78.3%), we investigated how pricing (WP) perceived risk (PWR) influence through individual innovativeness (II) community engagement (CE), with regulations (ERs) as moderator. The results revealed significant positive effects of WP PWR innovativeness, which, turn, strongly predicted engagement. relationship between these factors was significantly moderated by ERs. makes three key contributions: Firstly, it validates PT-SCT conservation behavior. Secondly, identifies crucial mediating role II translating price perceptions into action; lastly, demonstrates regulatory frameworks can enhance or inhibit outcomes. These findings inform policy recommendations for tiered structures, community-based initiatives, adaptive frameworks. provides comprehensive model understanding promoting water-stressed worldwide.

Wetlands are among the most valuable natural resources on Earth. However, many have been destroyed in recent decades. One suggested solution for their sustainable use is creation of collective management and protection strategies. These measures would involve stakeholders at various levels. Therefore, this study, encapsulation model social identity action used to increase understanding how participation wetlands strengthened. The aim study was examine farmers' willingness engage activities Helleh Wetland. To achieve this, a cross-sectional survey conducted farmers living near Wetland Iran. results indicated that effectively explained intentions participate wetland. According results, negative emotions had significant relationships with intention toward protection. Similarly, efficacy also found be related using motivate wetland can effective. approach will successful if environmental authorities prioritize addressing removing past experiences participation. This offers insights into socio-psychological factors influence conservation. findings provide implications managers, policymakers, decision-makers, helping them encourage
